Our experience with Basque Tours was great. We told them what we wanted to see and do and they made it all happen. On top of that they took us to amazing places we would have never known to visit. If you are going to be traveling in the Basque area I highly recommend planning your trip with the professional,... More

Prior to our departure from California, we signed up with Basque Tours and asked for a 10 day planned out itinerary. We really did not know what to expect since it would mean spending a great deal of time with someone you do not know. It certainly was not anything we had done in the past. Well from the minute...

“Everything You'd Hope For”

Jon Galdos is everything you'd hope for in a guide. He's relaxed and easy-going, yet organized and well-prepared. He's incredible knowledgeable about pays basque - history, politics, culture, etc, but never boring. He's sensitive to what you're looking for in the experience, versus simply offering a set package. Plus, he's helpful beyond the tours we selected (eg. pintxos/restaurant recommendations). We... More

I had the good fortune of coming across Basque Tours on a recent visit to San Sebastian. Jon Galdos, the owner of Basque Tours, was our private tour guide for the day. Jon grew up in San Sebastian and his knowledge of the area is unparalleled. He left an engineering position to pursue his passion for travel and photography and... More
